> The COO of the company you've built your product on told you that they don't want you to keep running your business.

That doesn't sound like a reasonable request. It's not like the COO is paying them anything to stop running their business. Can you imagine if Microsoft shutdown, because IBM asked them nicely to stop their business back in the 80s?

When you've built your business on helping your customers use Shopify's product without your customer having to pay Shopify for it... it's a pretty reasonable request to knock it off.
